Hi everyone. I have been away for a short break and even better, a complete break from the BBC. Just back in time to listen to the lead story on BBC Today this morning trot out some asinine excuses for Boko Haram’s actions in Nigeria. It appears that “Poverty” and the acts of the army are to blame for the savagery carried out there. Nothing to do with Islam, oh no…..
MID WEEK OPEN THREAD!

Nothing to do with Islam, oh no
How DARE the BBC suggest that a situation is slightly more complex than a narcissistic failed politician can comprehend! The very idea! Everybody knows that as soon as you mention Muslims, there’s no need to look any further. Why, as soon as you start suggesting that there may be reasons as to why Boko Haram have been able to gain such a dreadful foothold in Nigeria, the BBC may have to ensure the commentators they invite on to their programmes actually know what they’re talking about. And then where will Vance be? Won’t somebody think of the appearance fees?
Typical Vance as well, to put poverty in quote marks. How very “Christian” of the “embittered, egotistical, publicity hungry shyster”.
Scott,
Keep your name calling for the playground. This is a serious site, your comments are just embarrassing.
Don’t feed the troll.
… Nothing to do with Islam …
There you go Scott you re not alone in the abject cluelessness stakes, feel better now?.
Don t let the door hit you on the way out.
A Newsnight special report? …
yep! I didn t think so either.
… the UK, Muslim convicted of jihad terror offenses worked as … wait for it … “racial harassment caseworker”
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/mashudur-choudhury-becomes-first-british-person-convicted-for-terror-offences-in-syria-9403931.html
“This means that before Mashudur Choudhury joined the jihad in Syria, he worked to encourage among Muslims a sense of victimhood and grievance, on which basis they would make demands upon the British state. These two vocations go hand-in-hand: both are intended to weaken the Infidels at the expense of the Muslims, so that eventually the Muslims will become the masters of the Infidels. But British authorities, of course, don’t have a clue about that, and don’t want to have one”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/05/uk-muslim-convicted-of-jihad-terror-offenses-worked-as-racial-harassment-caseworker
I don’t think the BBC has reported this. Lloyds have removed the overdraft fee from their student loan accounts for Muslims.
Read item number 2. in the following Gatestone Institute article.
http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/4319/morality-squads-five-star-jihad
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/concoughlin/100272150/abu-hamza-is-gone-but-britain-remains-the-worlds-leading-recruiting-ground-for-al-qaeda/
still … nothing to do with Islam … eh Scott?
“This is the Britain that Blair, Brown and Cameron have made. This is the Britain that Cameron wants to feature a London that will “stand alongside Dubai as one of the great capitals of Islamic finance anywhere in the world.” This is the Britain that thinks it is appeasing and satisfying the forces of Islamic supremacism by banning Pamela Geller and me from the country, prosecuting those who desecrate Qur’ans, and clamping down ruthlessly on any resistance to the Islamic supremacist agenda.”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/05/uk-is-worlds-leading-recruiting-ground-for-al-qaeda
Oh what a surprise. The WAH WAH WAH WAH MUSLIMS posters are out in force, I see. “Let’s ignore David Vance’s idiotic, simplistic points that not only lie about a broadcast, but also demonstrate that he has neither the will nor the capability to understand! No, let’s post lots of unrelated links instead. It’s all Islam regardless of its relevance, but who cares about that. Besides, posting links about it from behind the comfort of my online pseudonym will somehow make my sad little life feel slightly less worthless!”
Scott, the situation (like yourself)
is not complex, BH are driven by Islamic supremacism, Islamic teachings, in Islamic text, that is fact
There are countless examples throughout the centuries, and thousands recently, that is fact.
You can choose any libtard stance you like, any libtard belief …
you cannot however choose your own FACTS.
Fanatic supremacism, mass murder, violence, threat, hatred of ethnic/ religious/sexual minorities are clear
examples, insidious infiltration into
council, local and national government, finance, education etc are just under the surface/stealth based, this again is clear fact.
It IS the most dangerous ideology on this planet, that you may even find out about for yourself, living as you do, in fairyland.
Always “shoot the messenger” is an easy kop out … for deniers of reality
Every village needs an idiot.
This is a serious site
Funny. Anybody reading it would think it’s a vanity site for you and Alan to stoke the prejudices of racists and bigots in return for the feeling that you have some status.
If this were a serious site, you’d take a stand against the attitudes of many of your more frequent posters. But they agree with you, so you let them slide.
You are not serious: you are a vain egotist who prefers receiving thumbs up from pseudonymous bigots to the truth.
If this is not a serious site, why do you keep coming back?
Anyone reading your posts would know you are sad, pathetic and deranged – and also prejudiced, closed minded and a bigot.
I agree that Scott’s comments were infantile. However, I also believe that David’s original remarks were simplistic and superficial. It is reasonable for a BBC reporter to mention the combination of factors responsible for the surge of Boko Haram’s activities in Nigeria, such as atrocities by the army and poverty. He did not, by the way, deny that the group’s take on Islam was a factor, but merely identified a number of complex issues that it is reasonable to assume are behind the support that the group has attracted among some Nigerian Moslems. It would be wrong to concentrate only on Islam per se. After all, there are moderate as well as extremist Moslems just as there are moderate and extremist Christians. Overall, I found the item well-balanced and thoughtful and entirely in conformity with the BBC’s obligation to be impartial.
‘After all, there are moderate as well as extremist Moslems just as there are moderate and extremist Christians.’
And it was going so well…
Ah the drive by troll was out early today but it is still the same old abuse and juvenile drivel. It’s a bit like having our own cyber-UAF one man picket line.
It’s so typical of “Scott” – embittered, egotistical, prejudiced (you missed that one didn’t you) and a blog site stalker.
Do piss of, Scott – at least let me have a read of reasonable comments early in the day, before encountering your gibberish.
He did that by accident.
He meant to type “First!”
“the BBC may have to ensure the commentators they invite on to their programmes actually know what they’re talking about.”
…You reckon? Big fail with Ed Milliband yesterday…
Silly Scott! I guess you and the Biased BBC both forgot to do some “research” before writing, to discover that Nigeria is Africa’s largest and fastest growing economy –
“Nigeria is ranked 26th in the world in terms of GDP, and is the largest economy in Africa. It is also on track to become one of the 20 largest economies in the world by 2020.” So “poverty” is certainly relative, and does not apply in this case. Boko Haram means “Refuse Western Education”, and is a pure Muslim hate group, absolutely nothing to do with the economy.
What a silly thing to say Scott.
Actually it’s nothing to do with Islam.
I know because a gruniard commentator has said it’s all down to global warming.
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/earth-insight/2014/may/09/behind-rise-nigeria-boko-haram-climate-disaster-peak-oil-depletion
I’m sure there will be many in the BBC in agreement with the witterings of the author of this nonsense, a Mr. Nafeez Ahmed (wonder if he’ll be voting UKIP)
Look guys, the meeja are in a blind panic, some plebs are actually seeing through their bullshit.
Expect the ad homs to increase, as they continue to deny reality.
Folk like scotty find they need to continue their crusade.
They will continue to claim that acts of barbarians, savages, sub-human scum, have nothing to do with Islam, even though that disgusting ideology runs like a commin thread throughout the vast majority of the killings that happen.
They aint never gonna change until that fateful day the noose applied under some barbaric sharia law begins to tighten upon their vulnerable necks.
So the most anti-gay religion on the planet is defended by…..the gayest member of the bBBC ‘community’.
I’d love to be able to join the dots but, to be honest, it’s impossible. Can anyone else work this one out?
I think that a middle-class white lefty like Scott, thinks that whatever a dusky person says, must be true.
So therefore, if a dusky person says that Gays are perverts, then Scott’ Brain would have a revelation, which would make him agree with that dusky persons view, but only in the presence of any dusky person, as his view would revert back and fourth, depending whether that person was white or black.
It could also explain why they think that the Nazis where right-wing, like Churchill, who lead the group of anti-Nazi politicians before the war. Even though the Nazis regarded themselves as Third-Way Big-State Socialists as do the present lot of pro-EU LibLabCon socialist types.
I think…
…and that’s the point where your post detaches from reality. But hey ho. Why expect anything more?
So the most anti-gay religion on the planet is defended by…
Oh do get real. I was criticising Vance’s – and this site’s – usual over-simplistic attitude to complex social and political issues. By oversimplifying the nature of BBC report, he ended up lying about it – albeit to a community of lazy bigots who don’t actually care about the truth, just as long as the lies perpetuate their own prejudice.
And that over-simplicity has just been repeated by you. Well done. You must be so proud. Tell me, do you oversimplify because you don’t understand the issues, because you can’t cope with complex issues, or both?
Oh, clever Scott, do fill me in on the ‘complexities’ which I’m obviously failing to grasp, especially as they seem to have led you to the conclusion that Islam is beyond criticism. I cannot wait to feel the enlightenment.
Maybe start here:
‘Muslims comprise just 2% of the total British population, yet they commit 25% of all anti-homosexual crimes.’
http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Persecution_of_Homosexuals_(United_Kingdom)
And move swiftly to here:
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/andrewgilligan/100200020/east-london-mosque-condemns-homophobia-yet-advertised-four-anti-gay-speakers-last-month-alone/
Then there’s this:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-21624588
They seem pretty straightforward to me but being nowhere near as clever as you are (the subtleties of your deft ad hominems are breathtaking) I’m obviously missing ‘the complexities’. Do fill me in. The floor is yours….
You’re just as intolerant of views you don’t like. You are just as closed minded, just as prejudiced, just as bigoted.
Millipede’s Swindon car crash is on the Independent’s home page and was a featured item this am on LBC. Is it still being buried by the BBC?
How very strange it was yesterday to see a group of UAF Fascist thugs claiming to be Romanian shouting abuse which included mostly accusations of ‘Waycism’ at UKIPs Croydon candidates who are black !
It just goes to prove that the bully word has no meaning what so ever, and we all know that only white people can be waycist because Jo Brand told us so !
http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-London/2014/05/20/VIDEO-Romanian-Protesters-at-UKIP-Carnival-Admit-No-Links-to-Romania-at-All
Is it not possible that that Britain’s best-funded, most world-renowned for its investigative journalism news broadcaster could give us an inky-winky bit of their time to look into this one? Couldn’t take long, surely, given their presence on the front line?
No.
Wonder why.
Anyone at the BBC and the rest of the msm still in any doubt as to why we are not listening ?
http://www.patcondell.net/europe-the-theft-of-democracy/
I blame the actions of boko haram on UKIP.
Surely Global Warming is to blame?
A combination of the two.
UKIP is also the cause of Global Warming, as well as Colombian drug trafficking and FGM.
THE BASTARDS !!!!!!
http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2014/05/comrades-war-decline-and-fall-socialist-workers-party
Comrades at war: the decline and fall of the Socialist Workers Party
Published today, it includes confirmation that the UAF is indeed a front for the SWP although it has outgrown it, begging the question why a Conservative PM would be involved with it.
Because he’s an empty suit, a vapid PR man who wouldn’t know a principle if it kicked him in his fat arse.
Because he is NOT a conservative. Those who do the bidding of a foreign corporatist elite, who infiltrated and took over the labour party in the 1990s have also taken over the tory party.
UKIP stands alone in defence of what our forefathers gave their lives in foreign fields defending in two world wars. The right and ability to vote out those who make bad laws. We cannot vote out the EU commission, nor their laws.
I do not care if the EU can impose 75% or 7% of our laws. 1% is too many, and when we cannot impose OUR collective sovereignty over our elected parliament to repeal or reject those laws, then we live under a defacto tyranny.
Our forefathers sacrificed their lives to bullets and bombs so that they could pass on to us a birthright whereby we would have the freedom to exercise our freedom and our democracy with a cross on a ballot paper. Where we can ensure that OUR collective will is imposed on our public servants and where we have the ultimate power to vote out those who make bad laws. We can defend that democratic birthright with that cross on a ballot paper today and next year. If we fail, we may need to defend it with bullets.
Vote UKIP at every election until OUR birthright is restored in full.
Lest we forget.
Spot on, Ken – that is exactly what this is about.
The Guardian – with the BBCin tow – has led the attacks on Nigel Farage and UKIP. Much of it has been water off a duck’s back, because Farage is NOT a racist and most sensible people can see this, they therefore ignore all the wayyycist chants by the metropolitan media. People see Farage standing up for fair debate about important issues that the metro types and the other parties are trying to ignore or sidestep.
So it is ironic that it takes a Guardian article by Patrock Wintour to report that internal polls by Labour and the Tories suggest that all the extreme and often inaccurate attacks have actually strengthened UKIP’s position :
http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/may/20/labour-tory-poll-ratings-farage-attacks
I think there is more to it than that. People watch Cameron and Miliband and Clegg – and they simply do not believe them any more. They watch Farand – and other UKIP people like Suzanne Evans – and recognise that they are trying to give direct and straight answers – and that they are far too often being faced with questions from the media that have damn-all to do with the real issues of this election.
I should know better than to take what the BBC says at face value. On their report of the Croyden street party, the BBC report states: He added: “Croydon is unsafe and a dump.” Which struck me at the time as a rather daft thing for a candidate to say, even in anger.
The Guardian report, to which you link, suggests that what he said was a little more nuanced. “Croydon, which was once the place to be, the place to shop, has now become sadly a dump … How can you ask an international leader to turn up somewhere where he feels unsafe?” That gives an entirely different impression.
Perhaps he said both? I have my doubts, given the BBC article still states “Romanians carrying banners argued with party activists over Mr Farage’s recent comments about their fellow countrymen” despite being last updated at 23:33 last night when it was apparent that the protesters weren’t Romanian at all.
‘Perhaps he said both? I have my doubts’
Me too, given the BBC has extensive and dire form in concocting headlines on an ‘accuracy won’t fit’ basis to suit skewed misinformation agendas, as befits a propaganda first outlet.
What they run with and can’t get around to, or forget, or bury, is getting beyond a joke.
The question you should be asking is “Why and how has Croydon become a dump”.
I’ve written on here before that the age of The Big State is over, and there’s nothing the BBC can do about it. It may not feel that way right now, but this is a huge, decades long trend beyond the control of the incumbent political class and their enablers in the media that has been rolling since the late eighties. They continue to try their best to stop it from happening, now that the signs are more obvious. The example below is just the latest indication that things are moving away from them. Check out the comments underneath – priceless:

Israel and the Palestinians: Key terms is an old story, dating back to 2006 although some editing was done in 2009. Yet I don’t recall any discussion at B-BBC.
We are all aware that the BBc instructs journalists to avoid the word terrorist. It’s written in their guidelines.
The rationale is There is no agreed consensus on what constitutes a terrorist or terrorist act. The use of the word will frequently involve a value judgement.
What I wasn’t aware of was that the BBC had delivered instructions on how to report every term in the conflict. Despite lack of consensus value judgements abound.
Some examples:
* The BBC has determined that the West Bank is occupied territory under International Law. The wording of the Hague Conventions and Geneva Conventions which say otherwise are apparently not International Law.
* However the Golan Heights which is ‘occupied territory’ under International Law and which Israel admits is not to be described as occupied unless it is in a story specifically on the 1967 war or Syrian-Israeli relations.
* Israel is still the occupying power in Gaza, although it no longer has a permanent military presence there nor they fail to add civilian presence because International Law still without the Hague Conventions says so.
* They contradict themselves a couple of paragraphs later, instructing journalists to talk about an “end to Israel’s permanent military presence”.
* Palestine can refer to historical Palestine a loaded term if there ever was one or it can refer to a future state of Palestine living side by side with Israel as envisaged in the Roadmap. So presumably the Hamas refusal to accept it under any conditions or the Fatah refusal in the long term should make the BBC use of the word ‘Palestine’ as rare as their use of the word ‘terrorist’.
The message that the Arabs were and are victims of Zionism is a theme that is repeated again and again on the BBC..
It is through an unusual source that we can get a. glimpse of a historical reality that is rarely published today. The PLO’s official magazine Al Thura published in March 1976 has the following:
“The Arab armies entered Palestine to protect the Palestinians …but, instead they abandoned them forced them to emigrate….imposed upon them a political and ideological blockade and threw them into prisons similar to the ghettos in which the Jews lived in Europe”
The irony is that the author of these insights was Mahmoud Abbas. now President of the Palestinian Authority

Suzanne Evans is particular comes across very well.
A good clip from youtube – Michael Crick discovers that the “Romanian” protesters at the UKIP Croydon event are fakes. Unfortunately the BBC didn’t consider this to be ‘news’ so no sign of this revelation on the BBC news or website.
Backs up what I said on another thread yesterday. UKIP need to be taking their own videos of what goes on, because this appears to have been buried by the oh-so-impartial BBC. Does anyone know, did it appear on Channel 4?
Breitbart is fast becoming a must-visit site for me.
RD wrote:
“Does anyone know, did it appear on Channel 4?
Yes it was on, last night.
Thanks Pounce. Some vestiges of integrity left on C4, then.
Blimey, Crick just said he’s English. Does C4 have one of those departments the BBC has to ‘address’ such claims?
Every English village used to have it’s idiot.
Not doing any damage. Then they decided to send them all to Westminster and look what happened.
They now send them on a special BBC media course for the disadvantaged at an urban College, and that’s the route to a job at the BBC, as can be seen on that W1A documentary.
Lucky he didn’t slag off any other races because rent a mob may have had to “black up” to continue the play acting and where would they have been then. You can almost reach out and touch their insanity.
I think it probably was an idea from Conservative central office, most likely one of David Cameron’s ideas for winning the PR battle for Tory votes, by using unique and novel contortions of Political Correctness.
Home Page BBC. Study: UK cities becoming mosquito-friendly habitats
Once upon a time scientists discovered ‘Global Warming’, which is very dangerous and will kill us all eventually. Then came ‘Climate Change’, which will kill us all quite soon.
And now, a study suggests, we have; the ‘Urban Heat Island’, which is bringing a plague of mosquitoes, including species known to spread malaria and West Nile virus to a town near you. These diseases can kill you PDQ. So they probably trump the other two?.
The report says UK mosquitoes are human disease-free but if someone comes back from their holiday with malaria and they get bitten, it could be transmitted to another person – and that is how you get outbreaks. And the risk of further contamination is higher if the mosquito then breeds in your water-butt. Or any other butt I suppose.
Now most people going on their holiday from the UK to high malaria risk places usually have their jabs to prevent infection, so who is coming into the country with malaria I wonder?
If only there was a political party that would promise to curb folks coming into this country from hot and sticky places and forming Urban Heat Island communities in our towns.

And the woman in the red hoodie is Spanish – probably relevant to her voting intentions
They all seem a darn sight nicer than the SWP/UAF thugs that caused trouble around a UKIP stand in my local town.
They are actually proud of defacing billboards and causing aggro. But they would not dare put a candidate up to stand for election – they’d be trounced.
Re HRH’s breach of Godwin’s Law the BBC (& Sky) are reporting the incident as if heard only by an old Jew who then spilled the beans
A former Polish war refugee who met Prince Charles in Canada has said he likened some Nazi actions in Europe to those of Russia’s Vladimir Putin.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-27497899
whereas the daily that must not be named states
At the end of the visit, and surrounded by media, Charles made his off-the-cuff comment about the situation in Ukraine
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2634400/Putin-behaving-just-like-Hitler-says-Charles-Princes-controversial-verdict-Russian-leaders-invasion-Ukraine.html
The thought of this lunatic becoming the next British monarch appals me.
He is an interfering old scrote, and as leftie as a left-wing thing. His erroneous eco-green “credentials” make me shudder, and now he thinks it is Putin, rather than the EU Fourth Reich, who mimics Hitler, in the bid to take over the world. What a sad, ignorant idiot. Mind you, he’s not the first Prince of Wales to be in possession of dubious mental characteristics, and I doubt, somehow, that he’ll be the last. What a numpty.
You would think that if he had any intelligence / wisdom at all, he would realise that a large proportion of the public think he is an idiot and object to him abusing his position to push his weird opinions.
He should therefore decide to keep quiet, on public affairs. But he is an arrogant tosser with very little to be arrogant about.
HM The Queen as the soul of discretion must cringe whenever Charles opens his silly mouth.
Given his family’s bloodline and that he shares many of Hitlers beliefs! old world back to the land elitist artsy watercolor liberalism and greenery bilge also that he still hangs around with a devoted follower of Albert Speer , Léon Krier who said Speer was the greatest architect of the last century [yes the same Speer who used slave labor to build Hitler Reich !] plus Charlie boys obsession with youth movements [always a bad sign ?] I think he had best stay out of ‘who is more like’ name calling !
“Charlie boys obsession with youth movements [always a bad sign ?]”
You mean The Prince’s Trust?
Makes Scott’s contributions seem quite coherent.
Problem ? maybe you could explain which bit your stuck on as I see no reason why I should bypass the creeps bad just because you have a soft spot for his youth award thing ? never met anyone ever affected or helped in anyway by his Yooof club!
You mean mad “Farmer George” who lost the American colonies, or his dissipated son, Beau Brummell’s “fat friend” ?
I’ve got to agree, I’m afraid. It’s always possible that his words were twisted, but allowing for that possibility, how anyone could think that Moscow is the villain in Ukraine escapes me. We are witnessing a low-level civil war in Ukraine which could get very much worse and it is largely the fault of the Fourth Reich, Washington and London. What idiots we are governed by! (Perhaps Scott thinks I’m a racist and a bigot!)
He may have breached more than that.
Luckily the UK monarchy is mostly a tourist attraction, but there are games played and seen to be played.
He just made the job of a few government departments a lot harder.
And made the chances of the old firm surviving remote when vaguely tolerant monarchists like me get knocked offside.
Quite interesting though that he should become the latest (and possibly most high profile) individual to be caught up in this BBC/ Guardianista/ leftie fad of having their private comments broadcast to all and sundry.
Scudamore in particular will, I guess, welcome this intervention as he will hope it knocks his name off the headlines for a while, but this trend towards publicising private thoughts in this way, accompanied as it is by a clarion call for the miscreant to surrender their job is quite troubling.
Just read the latest anti-American article from the bBC regards the deployment of US troops to the Philippines:
The Philippines’ forgotten generation
The impending return of the US military has not been universally welcome.
Echoes of that anti-colonial feeling were seen in violent demonstrations that erupted outside the US embassy in Manila to protest against the agreement, part of Washington’s “pivot” to Asia.
Ah would that be this demo by the KMU bBC
“Police armed with truncheons, shields and water hose clashed Wednesday with more than 100 left-wing activists who rallied at the United States Embassy in Manila to oppose a visit by President Barack Obama and a looming pact that will increase the American military presence in the Philippines…The police sprayed the protesters with water from a fire truck to push them away. A police officer was punched in the face in the melee, but no arrests were made.”
Leftwing activists bBC? I wonder whom the KMU are aligned with:
“KMU is allied with the terrorist organization NPA (New Peoples Army)which is the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP). They have been conducting extortion activities in areas that are under their influence. Murder of former NPA members and people suspected of being against the movement is also one of the crimes they have committed……As with their parent organization (NDF – CPP), KMU reciprocates the assistance being provided by the Peoples Republic of China by supporting their claim on the West Philippine Sea against the government of the Republic of the Philippines”
A little something which may help explain much more about the recent problems in the South China sea:
The deployment of the Chinese 981 oil rig 120 miles off the Vietnamese coast supported by 80 naval and coast guard ships, which then used force (Against the Vietnamese CG) in which to remain 80 miles within Vietnam’s waters. The bigger picture is, it is the only country in the region which isn’t military aligned with the US (Japan/Taiwan/Philippines) and it is presumed the Chinese are testing the waters (no pun intended) in which to see how the region will react to its maritime territorial grab (Chinese 9 dash line which claims virtually all of the South china sea for Beijing)
Complaint gone in:
Inaccurate statement: Romanians carrying banners
Complaint description:
BBC inaccurate claim on this page http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-27492711 ‘Romanians carrying banners argued with party activists over Mr Farage’s recent comments about their fellow countrymen.’
However Channel4 news on same day, (7-8 pm), shows Michael Crick discovering from these ‘Romanian Banner carriers’ on his filmed report that they are not Romanians, but are just lying activists against Farage, (political affiliation not known or disclosed). See Channel4 News: http://www.channel4.com/news/catch-up/
Further BBC report on same ‘complaint page’ also states UKIP Candidate said: “Croydon is unsafe and a dump.”
However Guardian Report states UKIP Candidates said: “Croydon, which was once the place to be, the place to shop, has now become sadly a dump … How can you ask an international leader to turn up somewhere where he feels unsafe?” http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/may/20/labour-tory-poll-ratings-farage-attacks
This puts quite a different complexion on the BBC quoted statement “Croydon is unsafe and a dump.”
Please could you alter these inaccuracies as soon as possible in the light of the EU Election?
It is such a shame that our National taxpayer funded broadcaster, with statutory obligation to be unbiased, with enormous resources to be able to report the news in a balanced and accurate way is constantly breaking it’s covenant to the Nation.
Yet more hard evidence for Peter Hitchens to demonstrate not a one off ‘mistake’ but more of a concerted campaign – not that we didn’t know that anyway.
‘discovering from these ‘Romanian Banner carriers’ on his filmed report that they are not Romanians’
There’s a lot of it about, so it is a concern how quickly some reporters and their media employers can skip watertight oversight and even the most basic checking to splash on what tickles their fancy.
And then get a bit slower and more coy if it turns out that the whole thing was a set-up they simply facilitated, either by being credulous or complicit.
Earlier I shared a Jon Donnison ‘report’ from Australia where his job seems to be ‘Slag off Abbott until Gillard is back’ Correspondent.
Looking back at the thread, I do note such as this now:
Michele Keighley She was an ALP Plant, do get out more.
Maybe worth checking, Jon?
Good for you, Charlatans. I’d be interested to know how you get on with that one as I was intending to make pretty much the same complaint.
I’d say well done Charlatans too, but don’t let one writing in stop you too.
Especially given the article clearly maintains inaccurate information long after being corrected and the BBC being in no doubt about the truth.
They also seem content to use such call outs still:
‘He added: “Croydon is unsafe and a dump.”‘
Charlatans. I think I will join you in that complaint the BBc web site has now removed any of the pictures showing rent a mob with their “Romanian “banners”, do you think they got a sensible grown up to help them out at the day centre? Any mention of Romanians also appears to have been removed but they have still forgotten to mention that the scum were pretending to be Romanian although this sentence obviously still gives the game away. “People carrying banners argued with party activists over Mr Farage’s recent comments about their fellow countrymen.” Fellow Countrymen, what do we think that means then?
‘Any mention of Romanians also appears to have been removed but they have still forgotten to mention that..
What they also seem to have forgotten is to alter the page update counter.
It still reads 20 May 2014 Last updated at 23:33
When I looked at this page a few hours ago I think that was the version & time up that still mentioned ‘Romanians’, but is now… ‘updated’… to ‘people’.
So even the BBC archiving system seems… unreliable… at best.
Let’s be clear here. An edit was made, but did not get logged or reflected as ever having happened. I deem that rather significant with a supposedly trusted and transparent state broadcaster with a history of playing fast and loose with facts and archives.
Could they tie ’emselves in any more knots or dig deeper holes?
‘Could they tie ‘emselves in any more knots or dig deeper holes?’

Odds of Weird Ed being asked to denounce this by Toenails Robinson? About the same as Nick Clegg scoring a No 1 single dueting with Madonna.

I heard 2 or 3 hours ago about an attack on Bobby Anwar of UKIP. Guido’s Order-Order, a tiny website, has a story up by 11.51am.
But the BBC, the biggest news organisation in the world has not a single word about it on its website – either under Politics or under NorthWest England.
On a daily basis order-order knocks the BBC’s 4000 ‘journalists’ into a cocked hat.
Guido reported the death of Baroness Thatcher before the BBC website ffs.
An embarrassment.
Perhaps the BBC is checking that they really are Labour supporters first. You can’t expect them to run a story without checking these things, you know.
Except when it suits otherwise.
As Any. Bent Journalist will tell you.
🙂
I see ITV have managed to report it.
Still can’t see it on the BBC, although they’ve found room for “Furore over ‘sexist’ opera critics”.
No, no! I’d really rather hear about Rory McIlroy’s engagement being called off.
Not for Islam Not BBC (INBBC):-

The universities are also hotbeds for radical Islamists, and IMHO it’s time to start investigating those institutions, especially the more modern ones.
Still not on the BBC news site: http://news.sky.com/story/1265690/police-to-patrol-more-than-100-polling-stations
The at-risk areas are mostly Asian communities.
The others are: Hyndburn, Blackburn with Darwen, Burnley and Oldham, Kirklees, Bradford, Calderdale, Derby, Walsall, Birmingham, Coventry, Peterborough, Slough, and Woking.”
Wonder why?
It mentions that in one constituency some 5000 names have been removed from the electoral toll in recent months. This is vote-fiddling on an industrial scale.
I haven’t returned my voter registration form for three years but I just got another voting card with my name on it.
If I had moved out of this flat somebody else could be voting in my name by now.
The system is so insecure it is laughable.
BBC not reporting that a UKIP candidate has been allegedly stabbed in the face by a Labour supporter, ITV have.
http://order-order.com/2014/05/21/ukip-candidate-stabbed-by-labour-supporters/
UKIP Candidate ‘Stabbed By Labour Supporters’ – http://order-order.com/2014/05/21/ukip-candidate-stabbed-by-labour-supporters/
No mention at all about this on the BBC news website.
If it were the other way around…
Just be wary. This is a dangerous time – reports like these can easily turn out to be fabrications designed to hurt UKIP on the eve of elections. If this turns out to be a fake ‘attack’ staged to garner support for UKIP it will only harm the party.
Best to wait for the official report from the police – if it really is a fake you can bet they waste any time reporting it back to the msm who will then, of course, plaster the story everywhere.
The next 24 hours are an anxious time, so be alert for false flags in all the msm.

And it doesnt cost me a £145 p.a.
Nearly time for the voting to begin. The liberal class and the BBC/Guardian /Daily Mail/C4 have done their best. A valiant fight to smear and abuse decent people. Even Cameron has been at it.
Stupidity is the ever present habit of behaviour of this useless elite. I hope the vote is massive. As ever nobody can really be sure. What I am sure about is that in England we try to effect real change without disorder. The elite has tried to deny us this right. It has failed.
More importantly we have in our millions stopped listening or arguing with them. We were ignored and vilified for too long. A really major mistake and I hope the price the elite pays is commensurate with the offence.
To deny an ancient and free people the right to decide who rules and on what terms is an unforgiveable offence. Reality is coming.
Wise Men Say…

Nigel ……GO MAN GO
I have been looking at the polls that came out this week, in particular the gap between UKIP and the Tories (this is a mainly Tory area – and the LibDem vote has collapsed in all polls)
Out of 6 polls the Tory % ranged from 20 to 23.. UKIP ranged from 27 to 33. The UKIP % leads in each poll over the Tories were 9, 4, 10, 10, 13, 8. That is – getting on for 50% more support than the Tories.
But I expect the Tories led by Cameron will try to avoid all this, minimise it, pretend it isn’t happening.
UKIP MAY “underperform” at the polls tomorrow – they may come second to Labour ! -especially with the confusing names at the top of the ballot papers allowed by a highly dubious Electoral Commission decision. The Tories MAY do a bit better than the disaster many are predicting. Cameron would arrogantly push ahead with his non- promise of a 2017 referendum.
But hopefully UKIP will succeed in spades. This will help force Labour to promise a referendum – and that in turn will encourage Tory backbenchers to push legislation this session for a referendum. The LibDems could stay crushed.
ukip will only succeed, if we all get of are butts and get down that polling station on thursday and vote for them,as for bozo haram,poverty and terrorism as a excuse for there religious fascism and holocaust of non muslims in nigeria and all over the african continent, well that wont wash with me,wind the clock back to 1985 when millions of christians starved to death in africa and sir bob geldof got together a concert at wembley called live aid to raise awareness of the plight of these starving africans who was all christians,do you recall any terrorist attacks in 1985 being carried out by christians in africa because of there suffering and poverty,do you recall any christian terrorist groups rampaging, raping killing,burning towns down all over africa because of the poverty and starvation of there people ,i dont remember this happening at all,so this lame excuse that poverty leads to terrorism is just a falsehood and a divertion for the real issue that these bozo haram islamist kill for one reason and one reason only and that is in the name of there religion called islam and there hatred of non muslims,infidels and kuffars whether in the west.africa,russia or china.simple as that.

Who would have guessed Liebour spring back it must have been the Swindon factor. Looks like a band of rain moving in assuming the BBc weather forecast is any way accurate which of course traditionally hits the Liebour vote. Funny another You gov poll I wasn’t asked to take, oh yea but of course they know who I said I was going to vote for don’t they.
When I was a teenager , must of been 74 x 2 election or 79 , al bbc used to say , wet weather was bad for Labour party, cos they didn`t have cars, unlike the better off Tories. Will they now say , the Laborites are too busy at the foodbanks , or some other nonsense ,like anti EU supporters are more dedicated to the cause than pro EU disciples , I await the excuses with interest .
Thanks for the heads up on that one Charlatans I’ve now forwarded this complaint. I wish to complain about the reporting of the UKIP carnival in Croydon. Whilst it is now blatantly obvious that the supposed Romanians were in fact members of the Socalist worker / UAF rent a mob. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFF0Pm4VQcw
This has gone unreported and whilst on your web site you have removed the pictures of the banners pertinent to this story you have left the phrase “People carrying banners argued with party activists over Mr Farage’s recent comments about their fellow countrymen.” Which apparently it now turns out they were not.
Will you now report that members of the UAF were masquerading as Romanians in the interests of fairness and highlighting the undemocratic activities of these groups?
Good man Dave666
No problem . I have a particular disdain for the SWP. As I have noted previously when I was a union rep these parasite scum would always be hanging around at conference trying to peddle their crappy “paper” Yea, I’m the one who used to tell you to “f**k off” but that doesn’t really narrow it down does it.
I particularly disliked the way they would aggressively try to force ‘anti racist’ stickers onto delegates going into conference unbidden.
The tactic being to brand any one who didn’t support the SWP as racist .

Doubtless, the diverse BBC will be able to find someone in a similar role to madam but with right wing views, won’t they?
From Guido:
BBC News Channel Editor Broadcasts Anti-UKIP Rant
“Jasmine Lawrence is the editor of the BBC News Channel, where it is safe to say she has significant influence over the BBC’s coverage of the European elections and politics in general. Lawrence’s Twitter feed largely consists of retweets of Labour MPs and left-wing journalists. Today she has been sharing her thoughts on UKIP, joining those using the anti-UKIP parody #WhyImVotingUKIP hashtag to attack the party“
Snap!
(P.S. site very slow. I hope it’s not about to go down again – I have a feeling there will be a lot to post about in the next 24 hours)
A while ago, Helen Boaden (I think it was) begged her fellow ladies who post ‘not to tweet anything stupid’.
Now I can see @journomummy has the inevitable ‘anything I say has nothing to do with the guys I flaunt I work for in my bio’ weasel, but this one, the day before an election, from a BBC Editor… not too smart, love.
Oh dear oh dear. Yet more evidence of institutional bias.
I think that @journomummy may have turned tail as Twitter reports ‘User not found’
Grabbed before the view from Henley disappeared.
Undecided voters can use this website to answer the question “should I vote UKIP?” http://t.co/dr4g3P3LX0 via @sharethis #whyimvotingukip— Jasmine Lawrence (@journomummy) May 21, 2014
Do click on the link she provided if only to marvel at the complexity of the algorithm used to determine your voting decision.
I’m pleased to say it was me who spotted this and drew Guido’s attention to it:
I was going to blog about it here but couldn’t access the site at the time unfortunately.
I have fewer than 170 followers on Twitter but in the past week I’ve forced one senior BBC journalist to apologise for tweeting nasty remarks about a Tory MP and made a BBC editor delete her entire Twitter account. I would urge any of you not on Twitter to sign up – doesn’t matter how few followers you have, if you use your account wisely you can make a difference.
In awe – brilliant find DB
Heh. DB strikes again!
They’ll be putting a bounty on your head soon.
Bit drastic. And that’s one cover up they might struggle to justify.
However, and here’s an idea, they could just stop tweeting arrogant, delusional self-awareness-bereft, unprofessional partial tribal propaganda on the basis they are unaccountable?
Nahhhhh.
Particularly gratifying is the fact that she followed me on Twitter this afternoon after I began pointing out her anti-UKIP tweets and she continued to post more of them as a sign of defiance. That worked out well for her.
Me 1 Jasmine Lawrence 0
Such defiance is not rare, but seldom ends well for them in such cases.
Recognising when something is not right, and not going to play outside the bubble seems a real failing across the higher echelons of the BBC.
It is interesting how such collapses seem to follow the same paths over and over.
The only frustration is that, having been exposed, nailed and forced eventually to pull every plug possible, there are seldom any tangible consequences to confront BBC staff with reality.
Though, possibly, that’s why the keep putting their foot in it.
Totally insane. No attempt to hide the bias over the past fortnight – a clear breach of their charter.
Their only saving grace is if UKIP do storm these elections. They could at least claim their bias had no affect. Otherwise, we need to push hard on this. Their downfall could be in sight
Back in January I even reminded her of BBC impartiality guidelines re social media:
She may have deleted her Twitter account, but the tweet still represents her bias, so still one for the ‘In Their Own Tweets’ vault…
Funny thing is she lives in Henley on Thames which is full of white, middle class middle aged men. Not many non-whites though. Just 2% of households.
You could write a whole book on the bias the BBC has demonstrated during these elections.
I wonder whose side Beeboids are on, politicallly?:-
1.) Tory Minister, Theresa May, or Police Federation;
2.) ex-Tory Minister, Andrew Mitchell, or Police Federation.

ITV have covered it too. Anybody seen anything about it on the BBC?
Closing sentence was the most perseptive
‘I’m sick of the old political class’, but also: ‘I want to be heard. I want to be taken seriously. I want control over my life, my community and my nation again.’
Sadly the liberal inquisition, from foot soldiers like ‘Hendy’ through aparachiks like ‘journomummy’ to high priests like Snow will not hear that voice , they cannot
Only the complete nutralisation of those self appointed guardians of the one truth will serve . And a good place to start would be the BBC
The Media Show, 4.30 on Radio 4, broadcast an item on female newspaper-editors who’d been sacked. Not a hint of a mention of Rebekah Brooks.
I know the trial is still on, but not even a name check. I suppose it wouldn’t have fitted the script – it was the nasty sexist men what done it.
Maybe they’ll be doing on on female BBC editors soon. At least they should be.

VOTE UKIP!
That is all. 🙂
Not half
The chattering classes have done it to themselves. Their encouragement of mass immigration and the hectoring/ignoring of the indigenous population concerns has resulted in a massive blow-back. UKIP will get a bigger turnout than the polls at present suggest. Nick Robinson, the BBC, the MSM and the three major parties are going to hold their heads in disbelief at the public anger and their own impotence to hold back the tide. VOTE UKIP simply for democracy’s sake and a Britain as WE want it and not the liberal elite. It is ours not theirs.
Hear hear. This is the elite’s last chance. Listen or else.
The bbC. how it uses the taxpayers money to defend the racist biggoted and sexist views of
radicalIslam. For weeks now the bBC have been promoting the view that the Government inspections into Islamic faith schools has been narrow minded, racist and unwarrented. For example they promoted the hurt feelings of children asked questions there as examples of intolerant behaviour:Pupils at the independent Olive Tree Primary School in Bury Park Road said they felt “bewildered and confused”, according to the school.
And
“Farasat Latif, chair of the school trust, said one inspector asked if pupils could “define what is gay” and whether it was ever discussed in the school.”One boy said he did not want to talk about it and other children were silent but the inspectors persisted,” said Mr Latif. In statements, children said they felt “uncomfortable”, “intimidated” and “confused”, he added. “It was a kind of sex education lesson but by untrained inspectors without the consent of parents or the school,” he said. “It was a complete breach of trust …. a safeguarding issue.”
The view from the bBC, is simply this is a witchhunt agaisnt Muslims
And now the guardian has come out with this:
Ofsted inspectors criticise faith school for promoting Salafi Islamic beliefs
Ofsted inspectors have harshly criticised an independent Muslim school for promoting Salafi fundamentalist beliefs and rated the school as inadequate, in a possible prelude to it being closed or taken over by the Department for Education.
In their unpublished draft report, the inspectors said the school – the Olive Tree primary school in Luton – fails to prepare its pupils “for life in modern Britain, as opposed to life in a Muslim state”, and that its library contains books that are “abhorrent to British society” in their depiction of punishments under sharia law.”Some books in the children’s library contain fundamentalist Islamic beliefs (Salafi) or are set firmly within a Saudi Arabian socio-religious context. Some of the views promoted by these books, for example about stoning women, have no place in British society,” the report argues
So a draft report which has been shared with the school in confidence so as to iron out any mistakes and the Relgious bigots go public in which to play the victim card. Gee i wonder if the numerous victim articles from the bBC about them, has embolden them to continue playing the victim card even when found…guilty.
I came across that to

less interested in article ( Islams special status is old news) than this comment
“peakoilsgoneitsalltoolate
5:57 PM on 21/05/2014
“You will be prepared for your Ofsted inspections. Stonewall’s expertise in advising primary schools how to navigate their legal obligations is second to none. Ofsted’s new 2012 framework requires its inspectors to investigate what primary schools are doing to celebrate different families and to address homophobic bullying. At the same time, schools are required under the Equality Act to actively tackle homophobia and protect those who might experience it.”
Now here’s the interesting part from Stonewall the political lobby pressure group…
“Because Stonewall has worked with Ofsted and other government agencies to create these legal requirements, we are perfectly placed to help your school meet them.”
So to get this straight (no pun intended), Stonewall gets the laws of the land changed in their favour by hijacking and attaching a rider to the Equality Act Bill. they then turn up to “help” statutory bodies abide by those laws by looking over collective shoulders just as a ‘friend’, to make sure you’re doing it ‘their way’ and if you don’t you will face sanctions from the laws they advised on and had created as a political lobby pressure group..!
George Orwell was looking in the wrong place…”
Today seemed to be quiet on the anti-UKIP barrage.
Maybe-just maybe-the liberal elite and their useful conch shell that is the BBC are realising that UKIP get shed loads more of votes every time they aim their grease guns and pea shooters.
Throughout this chucking of monkey faeces , the liberal elite seem to have been covering themselves in same…as Farage develops a teflon-like covering.
That these liberal oafs have been talking over our heads and insulting the only party to speak for so many of us is all too obvious. A conspiracy against the demos by the beautiful ones( despite being crock ugly and evil).
A real education for us-the BBC and the broadsheets, the unis, the liberals, MPs, charities and pressure groups are piled up against those who pay for them all.
And now we`ve found out-so obvious and it won`t be forgiven or forgotten!
Vote UKIP-rub their fat smug faces in their own incontinence and turtle tears…Mondays telly and Tuesdays broadsheets should be fun…I pray so anyway.
Presumably storing it up for tomorrow – probably full of misleading allegations that will be corrected after polling has finished.
Although by now they should have realised it has been counterproductive – they have had opinion polls and focus groups looking at the strategy and all reported -ve feelings. Even I told them they were going about it the wrong way.

In blatant contradiction to the BBC statutory remit for accurate, balanced political reporting, the run-up to the EU Elections has again highlighted the extraordinary BBC EU/left bias, both in msm and on the web,
But we should not be surprised about this when the BBC receives barrow loads of cash and loans from the EU:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/bbc/9055183/BBC-admits-receiving-millions-in-grants-from-EU-and-councils.html
See also here:
http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/culturehousedaily/2014/02/the-millions-in-eu-funding-the-bbc-tried-to-hide/
I find this a truly amazing conflict of interest and cannot understand how it is allowed to continue. In my view it is one of the prominent reasons the Licence Fee should be rescinded in the 2016 Licence Review.
I meant to add, this bias and unbalance is also obviously affected by their Human Resources recruitment.
HITCHENS TO GET ‘ON AIR APOLOGY’ FOLLOWING BBC UKIP MISREPRESENTATION – http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-London/2014/05/21/hitchens-to-get-on-air-apology
OK- I can now confess my dreadful, shameful secret !
I am standing as a UKIP candidate for a Council in South West London. My local ticket is – why are our Council taxes 50% higher than the London average – when there are so many failings in our local services ?
(Answer – the borough has been a stiych-up between the Tories and latterly the LibDems for many many years. Gaily spending OUR money, much of it on vanity projects and Council overmanning. Just one big cosy political club.)
I don’t have any idea how much the UKIP tide on MEP elections will carry over into Council votes tomorrow. But I feel I have done my civic duty by trying with a lot of other decent UKIP people round here (with different political backgrounds) to expose the gross inefficiencies of our local Council.
Knackered ! – I had to leaflet over 9000 voters – but I hope we make a big dent in the local political cliques. One end of the borough has Ed Davey as MP, the other has Zac Goldsmith. Lord help us ! They are the next target.
Tomorrow – Vote early – vote often !
best of luck
Good luck John! 🙂
Good luck John.
Good on you, John! That’s a shameful secret to be proud of.
Good luck.
Good luck my friend
Love Britain – Vote UKIP
Love Europe and Hate Britain – Vote for LibLabCon socialism
Fingers crossed for you.
Well done John – Let’s hope you get elected – let us know how you get on.
Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

Hmmm Maybe a bit of wishful thinking, but hope they have way under-estimated UKIP vote!
From ‘street-wise’ signals viewpoint, got a gut feeling this EU election is going to be a seismic shift in the political landscape for the UK at least.
I think that a lot of people would lie about there voting intentions due to fear of reprisals if they where honest about saying, UKIP. The established parties must be down to their core habitual voters, but they seem to be demoralised by the pro establishment media dirty tricks campaign and the negative political correctness instead of political debate about the EU, so would either not vote, or if they did, could possibly just decide to vote UKIP at the last moment, just to surprise themselves, and fell a bit better about the future.
But BBC staff could now vote Tory due its links with the Guardian and Cameron’s Politically Correct views.
I’m also hoping they’ve overestimated the Lie-bour vote as well.
A principled stand against gross wastage of taxpayers’ money whilst our mainstream politicians dance around their handbags to the tunes of ‘austerity’ and ‘the cost of living crisis’.
Good on yer.
“vote often !”
Can’t – don’t have a postal vote.
Well we’ve had Milliband in a couple of car crash interviews not knowing the name of the candidate he supported, and then claiming he spends just £50 pw on Groceries.
Clegg in election meltdown claiming he’s not only not going to resign, but that he’s going to carry on until 2015 !
(Never mind Nick, when the electorate do hold you to account Daves got a nice EU commissionership lined up for you so they can never hold you to account again! )
Then there’s Cameron who had his own temper tantrum over people voting UKIP and whose party has resigned themselves to coming third and appear to have devised the strategy of talking their chances down as low as possible, and discounting everything as a ‘protest vote’
UKIP leader Nigel Farage doesn’t turn up to his own carnival
Now all we need before the election is for the Greens to set a windmill on fire and we’ll have a full house !
It wasn’t Farage’s carnival. It was a locally-organised event – and Farage stayed away – as he has eg from Swansea – because the SWP/UAF louts were out in force. I have seen such a street demo by their ilk in my area – yelling racism at everyone in sight – it was entirely appropriate that Farage decided or was advised to stay away. The SWP/UAF want street violence, that is the way they operate. UKIP does not want street violence – that is not how democracy operates.
But I agree with the rest of your analysis.
Beeboids plot the future of its global broadcasting empire:
-‘partnerships’ with Ethiopia and North Korea!:-
“BBC News should mull ‘comprehensive’ foreign partnership, says report.
“Sir Howard Stringer also suggests BBC should consider new language service in countries such as Ethiopia or North Korea.”
http://www.theguardian.com/media/2014/may/21/bbc-news-foreign-partnership-north-korea-ethiopia?
BBC is now a ‘U.N’ Broadcasting Corporation, still compulsorily paid for by British people, but serving the interests of non-British people globally.
Can’t decide who to vote for?
Well why not let your computer decide for you?
